Aquarium decorations are part of what makes owning an aquarium fun, aside from the fish of course! There are many different styles of decorations, many different ways to present them, precautions to take, and many different places to find and buy them. In this article we will explore all of the fun decorations that are available and where to find them, as well as the other topics listed above.

1. Tank Size: The first thing you want to do before you buy decorations is to make sure you are aware of the size of your tank. If you are not sure, you can measure it, and a person at a pet store should be able to tell you how many gallons it is. This is an important fact to know before beginning to buy decorations.
   
   
2. Fish Size: Although this may seem silly, it is important to keep the size of your fish in mind when buying decorations. If you have a particularly large fish such as an Oscar or a Jack Dempsey, you will want to stay away from very small decorations. Fish like these could confuse these as food and easily choke on them. They may also view them as toys and that could result in the same. This is also true if you have small fish. There are many decorations that a particularly small fish such as a Tetra, Molly or a Guppy could get stuck in. If a fish is lodged in a place for too long without you noticing, it could result in death, and that is something we want to avoid.
   
   
3. Plants: Plants are among the most common and the most popular aquarium decorations by far! There are many choices when it comes to plants. You can choose to get real live plants, but if you choose to do that, you will want to make sure that they are compatible with your fish. Some fish will destroy real plants. Fake plants, however, come in all styles and sizes. They also come in many different colors.
   
   If you have fish that are large and strong, you might want to consider plants that have weighted bottoms. These have large bottoms that have to be buried into the gravel, and make it a lot harder for the fish to pull up.
